Sab chalta hai (Everything goes by)

This article is completely a tribute to Indian people. Because of their brush off attitude towards everything it made my mind to write about them. I don’t intend to hurt feelings of people but it’s reality and we must take a look on it.

Indian people are considered most hospitable people in world. And Ateethi devo bhava (Guest is God) is a very famous saying here in India. But you know what when these guests travel by autos of Indian people or purchase something from Indian people they charge thrice extra charges. Reason for charging extra money is not that guest is God but here in India no one pays attention to all this, so SAB CHALTA HAI. All over India people follow SAB CHALTA HAI attitude because no one complains and if someone file one, then officials also say SAB CHALTA HAI. People always maintain that this is India and here SAB CHALTA HAI.

Rules and laws have no practical use here because majority don’t obey them. And if you’ll ask people that why don’t you abide by rules they’ll say SAB CHALTA HAI. I remember a weird reply from a guy when a man asked him why did you break traffic rule. He replied because rules are made, so that we can break them. I mean really??? Rules and laws are made for our own safety. And then that guy said uncle chill SAB CHALTA HAI. Let me share an incident, One boy said to his friend let’s sit in college library and talk there because cafeteria was crowded and his friend  said no one talks in library and if we’ll talk in library then other students will be disturbed then he said don’t worry SAB CHALTA HAI.

In 2005, Govt. had introduced a cleanliness Abhiyana i.e. CLEAN INDIA, HEALTHY INDIA. Under this Govt. marked to frame all streets and roads clean, they also decided to come over tons of garbage but this Abhiyana has failed completely. These Abhiyanas and rules do not possess any value in our life and we don’t even worry about them because SAB CHALTA HAI.

In Govt. schools teachers don’t teach students sincerely and state of some of the Govt. schools is really pathetic but who cares??? If teacher is not there for students, if there is no cleanliness in classrooms, if students don’t have proper sitting arrangement and if mid-day meal is poisonous then what? SAB CHALTA HAI. When these kinds of things will occur with your own kids then you’ll be aware of SAB NHE CHALTA HAI. In U.P., Bihar and Rajasthan there are some Govt. schools which run only on papers, in actuality they don’t exist.

Condition of Govt. hospitals is honestly doleful. There are no proper arrangements for treatment of patients; doctors are not there for treatment and proper attention is not available, so what???SAB CHALTA HAI. If someone met with an accident and his/her situation is critical but doctors will affirm, first talk with police only then we can do anything. Who cares because of police verification may be that person can die. Oho so what??? SAB CHALTA HAI.
 
If a wealthy person molests a girl and if she’ll try to file a case against him then people will suggest, can’t you see he is very rich so don’t make it a big issue, SAB CHALTA HAI. Now I wish to speak up if that wealthy person will molest your daughter, sister or someone close to you, what will you do then? Or you’ll just announce SAB CHALTA HAI, think about it. Problem is we are noticing everything but don’t crave to pay attention. I remember a short story here, once there was a pigeon and a cat. Cat wanted to eat pigeon and when she approached pigeon, pigeon closed his eyes in the hope that if he’ll not be able to see cat then cat will not have a bite of him. But that was stupidity of pigeon because cat ate him even though his eyes were closed. So that’s what we all are doing and we all know what is right but still we are winking at things day by day. We all have knowledge that rules are for our own benefit and protection but still we are not following them.

 We grump for corruption, dirty politics but when it comes to do things in a right way we respond SAB CHALTA HAI. Ragging is a garden-variety in colleges and schools and when someone breaks silence against it majority assert SAB CHALTA HAI. I mean how we all can act so stupid? We understand something is wrong and still we support that thing. If that unjust is now happening with someone else then who knows it can happen with you too. Then what will you do? Oh I forgot, yeah SAB CHALTA HAI.

We all don’t pay our Tax sincerely, we don’t cast our vote and we don’t file complain against something unfair, why??? There are so many cases of rape, physical violence; eve teasing, murder, acid attacks , burning for dowry, honor killing etc. and people just ignore them, because this is India and here SAB CHALTA HAI. When a girl is raped in India our politicians say oh it’s just a rape and you can’t hang someone for this fault. They were boys they did a mistake but hanging them is not right. Mr. Politician I want to express if these boys would have done something like that with your daughter, sister or wife only then you’ll realize the sensitivity of the issue. When it comes to help someone we just ignore them even if they are dying, we say don’t panic, not a big deal SAB CHALTA HAI. Because of this SAB CHALTA HAI tendency we’ll annihilate our society soon through our own hands.

I have seen people writing their names on walls of monuments, throwing garbage on streets and spitting tobacco anywhere and if someone says something to them they just respond SAB CHALTA HAI. It’s painful to even think about those people who are suffering regularly because of our SAB CHALTA HAI attitude and it’ll not be wrong to disclose that we all are just playing hide and seek with reality. I talked with a girl, she’ll be married in one year and now she is pursuing in 12th standard. I asked her do you desire for marriage at this early age.  I mean you have to continue your education, she said what she can say?. When I questioned why? She answered because in her family girls  marry soon and what’s a great deal if this will happen to her too? And then I thought in my mind how I can forget its India and here SAB CHALTA HAI.

This SAB CHALTA HAI opinion towards everything is not beneficial for us. If something hurtful betides with us and we’ll wish for justice and then people will orate SAB CHALTA HAI what we’ll do then?. If someone will spit on your house, write name on your wall, molest your daughter, mother, sister or someone close to you then you’ll apply same SAB CHALTA HAI kind of thinking??? No you’ll break bones of that person. So when all this is taking place daily in our society, why we all don’t react??? We all Indians are brothers and sisters so when it comes to do something for our fellow Indians then why we don’t perform our responsibilities???  Think about it.



End of the Line
My simple point is if we find something unjust then why we support that thing? We all are intelligent enough to arbitrate what is good for us but by closing our eyes we can’t deny the actuality. I know there are some responsible people who always follow all rules, help others, stand for others and try to motivate others too and I truly respect these people but we need more people for making our society a good one. And for that we have to come out from our SAB CHALTA HAI attitude. I know it’ll take time and it’ll not be hands down to change it but we can try and if we’ll try, we’ll definitely succeed.
